概要	This qualitative study explored the driving cessation process among older adults in urban Japan using the Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four participants (aged 75-82) who had surrendered their driver's license within the past 3 years. Analysis revealed four phases: (1) Driving continuation, balancing risks and convenience; (2) Driving Cessation preparation, involving lifestyle adjustments; (3) Lifestyle confidence, gaining comfort with a life without driving; and (4) License surrender decision, culminating in formal license surrender. A key finding was the distinction between practical driving cessation and formal license surrender, which do not always coincide. Factors influencing this process included familiarity with public transportation, social roles, financial concerns, media information, and alternative identification options. The findings suggest that early planning and awareness of mobility alternatives can facilitate a smoother transition away from driving.
